Highlanders v Chiefs

[Yeetyaah]

Card every day of the week.

[Bones]

Fuuuuuck Nareki. He's done that before right?

Oh my highlight of the pregame coverage was them doing a bit on Koroi with the camera following Nareki.

[Yeetyaah]

I didn't think he was gonna go upstairs for a sec.

[Canes4life]

@Bones Sky Sport look like they are still in pre season aswell.

[WillieTheWaiter]

[Yeetyaah]

Nareki is shit.

[taniwharugby]

wtf going on with sky not showing any replays of the breakdown before pens.. just show players walking to lineouts or lining up kicks.. odd.

I think they've been trying to show less replays of that over the past couple of years to try to reduce complaints about the referees

makes it fucking hard to understand the new rules if i can't see what they're getting pinged for

There aren't any new rules at the breakdown. WR just ordered refs to enforce the existing laws strictly to see what happens. It's worth a try.

He's up in the air competing for the ball. Can't believe that is a card- the threshold has been lowered further.

Jesus. You love citing players as shit because of one play eh?

Nah, he landed on his side.

Reds are when the player lands on neck/head/shoulder.

[Donsteppa]

To have been genuinely competing for the ball in the air, Nareki could have tried actually looking at it.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bones done nothing for the Landers since he started. Did well for Otago. I'm not the first one on here to call him shit and won't be the last.

hahahaha he didn't fucking even get close to competing for the ball.. shoulder straight into the guy jumping.. guy at least has to try and look at the ball if you want to 'compete'

This ref deadset may as well be wearing a blue jersey

Aussies love complaining about the ref

He's never competing for the ball. To do that would require looking at the ball. It's a clear YC.

He was Hardly competing for the ball. Pretty standard card I think.

Yes you are.

Loving this from the chiefs, trying to stall plays and getting fucked over.

[gt12]

Wtf are the chiefs doing?

[antipodean]

I don't agree that ruck penalty should be given. At no point is it a realistic chance of getting a turnover.
